Not "why does it snow?" or "why is your hair funny today?"..
Me: "K-sit down on the chair".... K: "why?"
Me: G-I want you to keep the magnetic letters by the fridge"... G "why?"
It's getting worse every day with these sibs! EVERYTHING I say to them, not matter how (IE: Benches are for sitting on, I want you to sit down"), or how often I say it (the answer is now obvious after the 100th time), they give me a very snotty WHY?
In the beginning, I gave a reasonable answer the first time...Because I want you to be safe. But, that ship has long sailed. I have tried "because I said so", which is snarky, but true. I've tried "Bs house, B's rules", but then I get "NOao" and other sassy answers. Sometimes, I just ignore the question all together (that is my latest tactic). I swear, I have never in my life dealt with ruder children!
Any bright ideas out there? I can't seem to find a way to deal with this humorously. Maybe someone has a clever idea?
